Elf Liq vs Elux Legend vs SKE Crystal Nic Salts: Bar-Style Salts Compared
08 October 2026 · Vapes Direct Wholesale
Bar-style nic salts are 10ml e-liquids made to taste like the popular bar vapes. They let you keep the flavours you know while using a refillable pod kit, which is usually cheaper to run. Three of the biggest names are Elf Liq from Elf Bar, Elux Legend nic salts and SKE Crystal nic salts.

Frequently asked questions
Do bar salts taste exactly like the device?
They are made to be very close, but the pod kit and coil you use also affect flavour.
Can I use bar salts in a prefilled pod?
No. Prefilled pods are not designed to be refilled. Use bar salts in a refillable pod kit.
Are bar salts cheaper than prefilled pods?
Per ml they are usually cheaper, as one 10ml bottle fills five 2ml pods.
